About

I am currently a third year PhD candidate in the Department of Psychology (Cognitive, Developmental, and Brain Sciences research cluster) at Western University, in London, ON, Canada. I am co-supervised by Ken McRae and Ryan A. Stevenson, and part of The Brain and Mind Institute.

I completed my Master of Science degree in Psychology, also at Western, in 2020. My Honours Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour was completed at McMaster University.

My main line of research is focused on people’s knowledge of meaningful patterns of behaviours in the world, called event knowledge. I am further interested in how event knowledge relates to traits associated with autism spectrum disorder, particularly social communication abilities.

My dissertation research is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada.

This past year, I was part of the Organizing Committee (fulfilling the role of Social Media Representative) for Western University's graduate student-run Inspiring Diversity in STEM 2022 conference.
